为何要采用抢先体验这种模式？

“TideTurn is truly an immediately playable version of a nearly finished game. We are a small indie company, so our initial Founders Release content includes two free-to-play maps, the initial version of the community MapMaker, and 10 defenders with two unique abilities each There will also be an array of skin options, all complete now.

The initial release is small, but we want people to be able to experience and enjoy the game now while we continue to develop a greater content offering. Early access player experiences and feedback will help refine and polish future releases.”

这款游戏的抢先体验状态大约持续多久？

“TideTurn will remain in early access until development gets to the point where we have great story mode campaigns and content, a competitive selection of multiplayer maps, and a finished MapMaker with a rich tool set that allows players to create their own playable maps.

TideTurn is a full blown underdog story, if you'll allow the analogy. We currently have an enormous amount of content in development and are moving as fast as we can to completion. Early Access will significantly benefit the TideTurn rollout till we finalize the features itemized above and wrap up these foundational development efforts.

We anticipate to be fully out of early access by January 15th, 2021.”

计划中的完整版本和抢先体验版本到底有多少不同？

“What players are playing now is stable and complete. This baseline game experience will remain the same in the full release version. Now, it’s a matter of providing to the early access version much more content, more challenges, more abilities, the story-mode campaigns, and a more-polished MapMaker.

The MapMaker feature will fully support players with no coding or tool skills required (such as expensive programs like Maya) to jump in, design their own level, and immediately allow others to play on it. All this will improve and become more robust by full release. Plus, with Early Access, the early version will build on lessons learned from early access players' feedback. While the game's features will become more polished and expanded in time, the Early Access version is a great taste of what’s to come. Also, Early Access is a PC release, and the full feature version will include cross play.”

抢先体验版本的现状如何？

“Our initial Founders Release content offering is two free-to-play maps, the initial version of the community MapMaker, 10 defenders, and an array of skin options. We will be in a constant state of adding more content.”

在抢先体验期间和结束之后，游戏价格会有所不同吗？

“No! TideTurn is and will always be a free to play game! That said, we have many plans to make sure those who join us at the beginning of our journey will feel how much we appreciate their support.”

在开发过程中，你们是如何计划让玩家社区参与进来的？

“We are very open and eager to listen to player feedback. We want to make sure that TideTurn grows to be something that Early Access users can be proud to be a part of from the start.

All TideTurn players are encouraged to join our community discord server to talk directly to the developers as well as share or discuss concerns, ideas, and other feedback!
We are also available to be reached out to on most other forms of Social media. We want our players to have a meaningful impact on the direction the game goes, and to have a close relationship with the developers.”
